The beetle population moved to a greener habitat.
Explanation: In a green environment green beetles are better camouflaged and less likely to be eaten, so natural selection would increase the proportion of green beetles over generations. A bottleneck (natural disaster) or food shortage could change numbers, but they’re less directly tied to a color shift.
